EXPLANATORY NOTE



Trikon
Technologies, Inc. (Trikon or the Company) is filing this amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 (this Amendment) to reflect the restatement of its Consolidated
Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 through 2004 and the interim periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, for the years 2003 and 2004 to reflect adjustments determined to be necessary as a result of an internal
investigation of the treatment of certain allocations of expenses between account categories and between periods.



The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
March 16, 2005 (the Originally Filed 10-K). This Form 10-K/A is being filed to reflect restatements of the following financial statements:



| |  |  | Consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2003 and 2004 and December 31, 2003 and 2004;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, for the years
2003 and 2004;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | and to make certain conforming changes.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



The restatement is limited to three areas:



First, in our balance sheets, we previously accounted for invoiced amounts on contracts by recording the full amount in accounts receivable and the
portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance as deferred revenue. For example, if payment terms are 90 percent on shipment and 10 percent on acceptance, we invoiced and recognized the full amount in accounts receivable and
recognized 10 percent of the invoiced amount as deferred revenue. The interpretive guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (SAB 104) indicates that when the timing of payment of a portion of the sales price is
coincident with the performance of the remaining activity, the remaining activity is considered substantive rather than inconsequential or perfunctory. Interpretative guidance of SAB 104 states that deferred revenue should not be reported for the
portion of the contract price that is withheld. In the restated balance sheets as at September 30, 2003 and later, the portion of the contract price withheld is offset against accounts receivable, thereby reducing total liabilities and
total assets by the same amount.



Second, we previously
deferred recognition of costs in the same proportion as we deferred recognition of revenues on contracts with a portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance. The restated statements of operations for periods ending on or
after September 30, 2003 and balance sheets as at September 30, 2003 and later recognize the majority of the products costs (i.e. excluding installation costs) on shipment. This affected the timing of recognition of these costs, which in
some cases moved costs from one quarter to another and therefore changed cost of goods sold (COGS) and net loss in that quarter and net assets at the quarter end.



Third, in our statements of operations, we historically allocated substantially all of our facilities costs to selling,
general and administrative cost (SG&A). We have determined that a portion of those costs should be re-allocated to COGS and research and development (R&D). As a result, in a given period, SG&A was reduced and COGS
and R&D together were increased by the same amount. The reallocation of overhead relates to one facility with services shared by administrative, manufacturing and research and development functions. All of our restated statements of operations
reflect this reclassification.



For a more detailed description
of the restatements, see Restatements in notes 13 and 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Events -
Restatement of 2000 through 2004 Financial Results.

PART I



ITEM 1. BUSINESS



Overview



Trikon was founded in 1987 as Plasma & Materials Technologies, Inc
(PMT), a California corporation. In August 1995, we completed our initial public offering of common stock. In November 1996, we acquired Electrotech Limited and Electrotech Equipments Limited (jointly Electrotech), both
United Kingdom companies that were significantly larger than PMT and the Company was renamed Trikon Technologies, Inc. In 2002, the Company reincorporated into Delaware as Trikon Technologies, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at
Ringland Way, Newport, South Wales NP18 2TA, United Kingdom, and our telephone number is 44 (0) 1633-414-000. Our head quarters and management team together with our principle operations are based in the United Kingdom.



We design, manufacture, market and sell advanced production equipment used to
process semiconductor wafers for the manufacture of integrated circuits. These circuits and devices are key components in most advanced electronic products, such as telecommunications devices, consumer and industrial electronics and computers. Our
equipment has typical selling prices between $0.8 million and $3.5 million depending on the configuration of the equipment.



Our products carry out processes to deposit and/or remove materials on the surface of a wafer. In particular, our products are used for three of the
primary steps in the manufacture of integrated circuits; chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) and dry etch processes. We sell, install and service our systems to semiconductor manufacturers worldwide and our existing
customers include a wide range of semiconductor companies, including large independent device makers. We use a direct sales model in all of our markets except in Asia, where we use a combination of direct sales and distributors.



Our goal is to be responsive to the continually changing needs of our
customers and the specialist demands associated with niche applications. There are many applications that require specialized development of standard equipment and we focus on those applications that we believe have significant growth potential. We
have identified applications that include solutions for the power semiconductor, systems in a package (SiP.)/MEMS, Bulk Acoustic Wave Filter (BAW) and other Aluminum Nitride deposition needs and compound semiconductor markets. We believe that our
200 mm wafer and below processes satisfy the demands for cost effective production worthy tooling for a large variety of applications, while our flowfill and ORION technology provides solutions for gap fill and low k dielectrics at the leading edge
of semiconductor development on 300 mm wafer. Overall, our strategy is to identify applications in which we believe we have a technology advantage, and we are positioned to be agile and responsive to support our customers equipment needs.



We make available free of charge through our website,
www.trikon.com, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically submitted to the Securities
Exchange Commission. Our Internet website and the information contained therein or incorporated therein are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Recent Developments



On March 14, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Aviza Technology, Inc. (Aviza), a
privately held global supplier of thermal process and atomic layer deposition systems. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Baseball Acquisition Corp. I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Athletics, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation
(New Athletics), will merge with and into us (the Trikon Merger), and Baseball Acquisition Corp. II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Athletics, will merge with and into Aviza (the Aviza Merger). Upon consummation
of the mergers, we and Aviza will each continue as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Athletics.

In the Trikon Merger, each outstanding share of our common stock will be exchanged for 0.333 shares (the
Trikon Exchange Ratio) of New Athletics common stock. In addition, each outstanding option and warrant to purchase shares of our common stock will be assumed by New Athletics and will thereafter represent the right to purchase a number
of shares of New Athletics common stock based on the Trikon Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per share will be adjusted accordingly.



In the Aviza Merger, (i) each outstanding share of Aviza common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of New Athletics common stock equal to the
Aviza Exchange Ratio, (ii) each outstanding share of Aviza Series A Preferred Stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of New Athletics common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Aviza common stock into which such share
of Aviza Series A Preferred Stock would have been convertible immediately prior to the effective time of the Aviza Merger multiplied by (y) the Aviza Exchange Ratio, and (iii) each outstanding share of non-voting, redeemable Aviza Series B Preferred
Stock will remain outstanding. In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Aviza common stock will be assumed by New Athletics and will thereafter represent the right to purchase a number of shares of New Athletics common stock based
on the Aviza Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per share will be adjusted accordingly. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Aviza Series A Preferred Stock that remains unexercised at the effective time of the Aviza Merger will be
cancelled. The holders of such warrants have executed an irrevocable election to net exercise their warrants prior to the effective time of the Aviza Merger. The Aviza Exchange Ratio means the quotient obtained by dividing 8,325,000 by,
as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Aviza Merger, the sum of all shares of Aviza common stock then (i) issued and outstanding, (ii) issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Aviza Series A Preferred Stock then issued and
outstanding, (iii) issuable upon the exercise of all Aviza options then unexercised, unexpired and outstanding and (iv) issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any other securities then issued and outstanding.



Immediately after completion of the mergers, the New Athletics board of
directors will consist of seven directors, including three current members of our board, three current members of the Aviza board, and one member who is not affiliated with us or Aviza.



Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, Trikon and New Athletics entered into a Stockholder Agreement with
VantagePoint Venture Partners IV (Q), L.P., VantagePoint Venture Partners IV, L.P. and VantagePoint Venture Partners IV Principals Fund, L.P. (collectively, VPVP). Under the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, among other commitments,
VPVP will guarantee certain obligations of New Athletics and Aviza under a credit facility with a third-party commercial bank. In consideration for the guarantee, New Athletics will issue VPVP warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of New Athletics
common stock.



The consummation of the merger transaction is
subject to the approval of our stockholders and other customary closing conditions. The requisite approval of the stockholders of Aviza has already been obtained. New Athletics intends to account for the transaction as a purchase of
Trikon by Aviza for financial reporting and accounting purposes, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The merger is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2005.



Our Products



Integrated circuits are built on a silicon or other material wafer base, and include a variety of circuit components, such
as transistors and other devices, that are connected by multiple layers of wiring (interconnects). To build an integrated circuit, the transistors, capacitors and other circuit components are first created on the surface of the wafer by performing a
series of processes to modify, deposit and remove selected film layers. Similar processes are then used to build the layers of wiring structures on the wafer.



Our products are used in these processes to create the integrated circuit, which includes among many different processes; the following basic
operations are used to create interconnect layers:



| |  |  | deposition, or adding material to a substrate, typically a silicon wafer;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

| |  |  | patterning, or printing a circuit outline on the substrate; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | etching, or removing layers, of material from the substrate.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



These, and other processes, are repeated in multiple cycles, building up microscopically thin layers, thereby interconnecting countless transistors.



We supply production equipment for two of the most typical deposition
techniques, chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition, and plasma etching equipment for selective material removal.



Our proprietary technologies and leading-edge wafer processes capabilities enable our customers to perform new and advanced fabrication processes, thereby
improving their products.



Chemical Vapor Deposition



Chemical vapor deposition is a process that can be used
to deposit thin films of dielectric (insulating) and, to a lesser extent, conductive materials. During the CVD process, gases that contain atoms of the material to be deposited chemically react to form a thin film of solid material on the wafer.
Typical uses for dielectric deposition by CVD include:



| |  |  | Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), to isolate one transistor from another;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the pre-metal dielectric (PMD), the insulating layer between the active components and the first interconnect metal layer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inter-metal dielectric (IMD), the insulating layer between the different metal layers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the final passivation layer that seals the completed device from atmospheric moisture.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our CVD products are based on our single chamber PECVD Delta 201 product and our Planar fxP and Planar 300 cluster
tool products. The Planar systems can be configured with up to six process module positions and in addition to the deposition of silicon dioxide, the most common insulating material deposited, we have our Flowfill, low k Flowfill and Orion
processes.



Silicon dioxide, when deposited by conventional
techniques, displays small voids inside the structure and does not provide for a high degree of planarization. Our patented Flowfill and low k Flowfill products are directed towards customers that require the deposition of a planarizing layer or the
deposition into small gaps that reduces the need for chemical metal polishing (CMP) processing with a corresponding reduction in cost of ownership, or in some cases actually removes the CMP steps. Our Flowfill process is a patented CVD technology
that was developed to form high quality silicon dioxide layers that possess the properties of both gap fill and a high degree of planarization. When a high degree of planarization is reached, the upper surface of the layer is relatively flat,
irrespective of the topography of the surface covered. Flowfill can fill features less than 40 nm wide with a less than 8:1 height to width ratio and simultaneously achieve a very high degree of planarization for large gaps up to 20 microns.



Our low k Flowfill product has similar gap filling and
planarization properties to the Flowfill product but also provides a low k dielectric process, which enables device manufacturers to speed up the performance of their integrated circuits. Our low k Flowfill technology is in production with a tunable
dielectric constant (dielectric constant or k value) of between 2.8 and 3.3 and has the capability of achieving a dielectric constant of 2.5.



Advanced logic device makers use copper damascene wiring for the interconnect with a low k IMD to enhance device
performance. Our ORION technology is an ultra low k offering aimed at advanced copper damascene applications where a k value of 2.5 or below is required. ORION can be deposited at dielectric constants of both 2.5 and 2.2, values, which have been
independently verified.

Physical Vapor Deposition



Physical vapor deposition is a process used to deposit conducting, liner and barrier metal layers on an integrated circuit.
One of the primary PVD methods is sputtering, a process in which an electrical discharge creates ions of an inert gas, such as argon, which are then accelerated in a vacuum at a target typically composed of pure metal or metal compound, such as
aluminum, aluminum compounds, tantalum or copper. The target atoms are sputtered away and deposited on the wafer to form a thin film. Thin conductive films, when patterned by lithography and etching, are used to wire an integrated circuit. These
sputtered thin films consist of:



| |  |  | the bulk conducting layers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | the barrier and liner metal layers to prevent diffusion or reactions between metals and silicon regions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the seed layer for electroplating.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



Our Sigma fxP systems are used to sputter uniform layers of pure metals or metal alloys and metal compounds such as oxides or nitrides. These products are cluster
tools based on industry standard robotics platforms.



Sigma is
designed to be one of the cleanest PVD systems on the market, which is a key technology requirement for sputtering the wafer with as high quality film as possible. Various process chambers are available for a large variety of specific functions. In
particular, there are advanced PVD chambers for depositing high quality barrier and liner layers for advanced metalization structures. These consist of the long throw Hi-Fill and ionized metal Advanced Hi-Fill PVD chambers
for improved barrier and liner deposition into high aspect ratio structures. Where step coverage over high aspect ratio features is critical, a metal organic CVD (MOCVD) module is available to provide low temperature, largely conformance titanium
nitride films. Additional chambers consist of pre heat and sputter etch. We believe that the Sigma systems have the lowest cost of ownership compared to our main competitors, and cost of ownership is an important factor for integrated circuit
manufacturers.



We have developed unique, and in many cases
patented processes for many markets. For example, in the rapidly growing power device market, we support both front side interconnect and backside solder metal applications, minimizing operating costs by offering same-type equipment for the entire
metal module. We also supply technology for the emerging Aluminum Nitride deposition market, which includes the Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) market, a technology driven sector for next generation communication devices. BAW devices require
very uniform deposition of piezoelectric films and we have developed significant intellectual property in this arena.



Plasma Etch



Plasma etch is a process that removes precisely defined patterns from the wafer surface by chemically converting exposed portions of the surface into a
gaseous by-product that is pumped away from the process chamber. Almost all deposition processes create a film covering the entire wafer surface. Many layers are required only in selected parts of the wafer, for example to create wires of metal that
may be created by a series of steps including a Plasma etch step. Firstly, the entire wafer surface is covered with sputtered aluminum alloys and its associated barrier layers. These conductive layers are then coated with photo resist and are
exposed to the wiring pattern during the photolithography process. Plasma etching is then used to remove the exposed conductive layer, thus replicating the wiring pattern. The metal remains in place under the protective photo resist, which is then
stripped off.



Our Omega plasma etch system is available on two
platforms as the Omega fxP and a single
chamber Omega 201. The OmegafxP, offers
up to six process modules combined with tools for wafer alignment and cool-down and two vacuum cassette stations. Multiple chambers provide high throughput for the high volume

user or the option to mix and match different plasma sources so that advanced sequential etching processes can be addressed. The Omega 201
features our plasma source technologies in a single chamber format that combines high performance etching with small footprint and low costs. These attributes make the tool particularly well suited to cost-sensitive manufacturing of silicon
integrated circuits, compound device makers and other niche markets.



Both platforms support our three main plasma sources, our M0RI etch technology (M0RI), Plasma Enhanced Reactive Ion Etch (PERIE) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Additional modules may also be added that provide secondary functions, such as post etch corrosion processes. M0RI
offers the highest plasma density that provides process solutions for the most advanced polysilicon, oxide and low k etch requirements. The ICP is used extensively for high-density aluminium and polysilicon etching as well as for a broad range of
front and back face processing on compound semiconductors. The PERIE offers medium plasma density for silicon and dielectric etching where the feature sizes are less challenging. We have also developed a variant of our M0RI etch process chamber
specifically for very high aspect ratio silicon etching/micro machining. This Deep Silicon (DSi) chamber offers benefits to production users in Systems in a Package (SiP)/Wafer Level Packaging (WLP) and conventional MEMS applications. Deep Silicon
etch techniques are used in a myriad of applications such as the manufacture of discrete components in SiP and accelerometers for car air bags. We also offer a Gas Phase Etch (GPE) module, which removes sacrificial layers to create microscopic
moveable structures.



Marketing, Sales and Customer Support



We sell, install and service our systems to semiconductor manufacturers
worldwide and our focus is upon building positive long-term relationships with our customers. We believe that we offer highly reliable products that give our customers a competitive edge through technology or cost advantage, comprehensive field
support and a responsive parts replacement and service program. Our sales are divided among three geographic regions  Europe, North America and Asia. Set forth below in tabular format is the geographic distribution of our revenue for the past
three fiscal years, expressed as a percentage of sales: -



|     |  |        |   |  |               |   |  |      |  
|---- |  | ------ | - |  | ------------- | - |  | ---- | -
|     |  | Europe |   |  | North America |   |  | Asia |  
|2004 |  | 61     | % |  | 29            | % |  | 10   | %
|2003 |  | 56     | % |  | 39            | % |  | 5    | %
|2002 |  | 64     | % |  | 33            | % |  | 3    | %



In Europe, we market
and sell our products primarily through our direct sales and service operations in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France and Germany. In North America, we also market and sell our products through our direct sales organization supported by
regional service operations. In Asia we combine direct sales, agency and distributor arrangements. In Japan we use a local distributor. In Taiwan, China and the other South Eastern Asian markets we use the services of a regional agent supported in
China and Taiwan by a direct sales presence.



Our total revenue
includes amounts from certain individual customers that exceed 10% of our total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2004 two customers exceeded 10% of revenues for the year. Infineon AG represented 16% of sales and a North American company
represented 13%. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Sarnoff Corporation, Infineon AG and Philips accounted for 16%, 13% and 10% of our total revenue respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Phillips was the only customer who exceeded
10% of our revenue, accounting for 11% of our revenue. Our largest customers may vary from year to year depending upon, among other things, a customers budget for capital expenditures, plans for new fabrication facilities and new product
introductions.



Our sales are not usually seasonal in nature
but are cyclical due to the buying patterns of major semiconductor manufacturers. These buying patterns are based on several factors including anticipated market demand for integrated circuits, the development of new technologies and general
economic conditions.

We provide customers with evaluation systems of our new products as part of our sales efforts. The
provision of evaluation systems is an important step in the lengthy sales cycle. The average duration of an evaluation period for systems can be extensive and can exceed one year. Consequently, as we expand our sales efforts, particularly in new
markets, we believe that continued investment in demonstration and evaluation systems will be needed.



We believe that a comprehensive support program is an essential component for each customer. We have developed an experienced central customer support
group in addition to regional based service and support staff at local centers who are in close contact with our customers and provide comprehensive support programs.



Research, Development and Engineering



We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to improve our systems and technologies and to develop new products that
compete effectively on the basis of technical performance and total cost of ownership. These technologies and systems will also need to meet customer requirements and emerging industry standards. Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our
personnel and financial resources to research and development programs and seek to maintain close relationships with our customers in order to remain responsive to their product needs. As of December 31, 2004, we employed 49 professional and
technical personnel in research, development and engineering including our head office support team and our expenditure for research and development during the fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $10.1 million, $11.1 million and $12.2
million, respectively.



Our research and development group is
responsible for identifying new technology applications and developing processes to develop solutions for our target markets and customers. Our current significant research and development programs include projects to address process development for
the needs of power semiconductors, MEMS/SiP device customers, Aluminium Nitride deposition including BAW devises, compound semiconductors and the development of our flowfill and Orion technologies. Resources are also being focused on implementing
product cost reduction programs that can favorably impact our gross margin and allow us to compete in the cost competitive environment that exists today.



Manufacturing, Raw Materials and Supplies



Our manufacturing operations consist of the manufacture, assembly and testing of components and modules and their integration into finished systems at our
Newport, United Kingdom facility, where substantially all of our long-lived assets are maintained. We purchase a significant number of parts including mechanical and electrical components from a variety of suppliers. We seek to qualify multiple
suppliers for our purchased components, although this is not possible for all components and purchased assemblies and therefore any failure by a supplier to perform could have a short-term adverse effect on our operating results. Most significantly
our Sigma®fxP, Planar fxP and Omega fxP systems (cluster tools) are designed around an automation module supplied by Brooks Automation. Due to the high cost of these modules we keep very few in inventory. If Brooks Automation fails to deliver the
component on a timely basis, delivery of our cluster tools will be delayed and sales may be lost. If Brooks Automation is unable to deliver any such modules for a prolonged period of time, we will have to redesign our cluster tools so that we may
utilize other wafer transport systems.



Our manufacturing
facility operates at the high levels of cleanliness required in the semiconductor industry. Our manufacturing and final test area is class 1000 representing a high level of cleanliness (a class is a standard definition which represents a number of
particles per million, the smaller the number of particles the cleaner the facility). We also support our development and sales process with a class 100 engineering clean room and a class 10 processes and product demonstration room.



We also operate a CNC machinery center which produces chamber components and
other parts and wafer transport assemblies. In order to ensure that the CNC facility remains competitive in both quality and price, and

to help cover fixed costs, it also produces products for third parties. Revenue associated with this facility that is not related to the semiconductor
equipment business was approximately $1.8 million; $0.9 million and $1.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively.



Competition



The global semiconductor equipment industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Historically, new technologies have only
gained acceptance when industry leaders have concurrently adopted such new technologies. Significant competitive factors include the size of the company, timing of new product offerings, system performance, cost of ownership, size of installed base,
depth and breadth of product line and customer support.



We
face significant competition from various suppliers of systems that utilize similar or alternative technologies. Competitors range from very large, well capitalized corporations with a diversified product portfolio to smaller companies that compete
with a single innovative product. However, many of our competitors are substantially larger companies, some with broader product lines. They have well-established reputations in the markets in which we compete, greater experience with high volume
manufacturing, broader name recognition, substantially larger customer bases, and substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources.



We have granted non-exclusive, worldwide, paid-up licenses of our M0RI technology to Applied Materials and Lam Research. As
a result, in the future our etch products may have to compete with products of Applied Materials or Lam Research based on our technologies. The license agreements do not preclude us from utilizing, or licensing to other third parties, the licensed
technologies.



Backlog



As of December 31, 2004, our backlog was approximately $6.1 million, as
compared to approximately $6.2 million at December 31, 2003. Our backlog consists of system purchase orders that provide for delivery within the following year and the unearned revenue of systems previously shipped. Backlog includes only
systems for which a purchase order has been received and a delivery date assigned. Orders are typically subject to cancellation or delay by the customer with limited or no penalties. Because of possible changes in delivery schedules and
cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily representative of actual sales for any succeeding periods, nor is backlog any assurance that we will realize profit from completing these orders.



Intellectual Property



We believe that our competitive position is significantly dependant upon skills in engineering, manufacturing, customer
support and marketing in addition to our patent position. Protection of our technological assets by obtaining and enforcing patents is important and we file patent applications in the United Kingdom, United States and other countries as we believe
to be appropriate. We currently hold 46 U.S. and 89 foreign patents with patents issued and pending in key markets around the world. The issued patents and any subsequent issued patent arising from our pending applications expire between 2009 and
2023.



There can be no assurance that patents will be issued on
our pending patent applications or that competitors will not be able to legitimately ascertain proprietary information embedded in our products that is not covered by patent or copyright. In such case, we may be precluded from preventing the
competitor from making use of such information. In addition, should we wish to assert our patent rights against a particular competitors product, there can be no assurance that any claim in any of our patents will be sufficiently broad nor, if
sufficiently broad, any assurance that our patent will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that we will have sufficient resources to prosecute our rights.

In the normal course of business, we receive inquiries regarding possible patent infringement. In dealing
with such inquiries, it may become necessary or useful for us to obtain or grant licenses or other rights. However, there can be no assurance that such licenses or rights will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able
to resolve a claim, negotiate a settlement of the matter, obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms and/or successfully prosecute or defend our position, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected.



Environmental Matters



We are subject to regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and
disposal of hazardous chemicals and gases used during customer demonstrations and in research and development activities. The United Kingdom has adopted a comprehensive environmental law known as the Environmental Act 1995, which, among other
things, deals with the allocation of responsibility for the clean up of contaminated property and expands potential liability with respect to the remediation of such contamination. We lease a number of facilities in the United Kingdom, and failure
to comply with present or future regulations could result in substantial liability, suspension or cessation of our operations, restrictions on our ability to expand at our present locations, or requirements for the acquisition of significant
equipment or other significant expense. To date, compliance with environmental rules and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations. We believe that we are in material compliance with all applicable environmental rules and
regulations and are in compliance with ISO14000 environmental standards.



Employees



As of December 31, 2004, we had 190
full-time employees and 24 temporary employees or contractors. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Overview



Our business is to design, manufacture, market and sell advanced production equipment used in the production of semiconductors and to provide related
support services. We face a variety of challenges in responding to the dynamics of this industry, which is characterized by a high level of volatility caused by sudden changes in demand for semiconductors and manufacturing capacity. In addition,
because of the large unit price associated with our systems, which typically vary between $0.8 million and $3.5 million, our backlog, shipments and revenues can be affected, positively or negatively, by a relatively small change in the number of
orders.



In addition to the initial sale of equipment, we also
provide on site support and spares parts. Sales of on-site support and spare parts were $11.7 million, $10.7 million and $9.0 million (including sales of our CNC subsidiary of $1.8 million, $0.9 million and $1.1 million) for the years ended December
31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The sales of support and spares are less volatile than the sale of the equipment.



Restatement



On May 6, 2005, we concluded that we needed to restate our previously reported financial statements for fiscal years 2000 through 2004. We identified
three changes to our accounting policies:



First, in our
balance sheet, we previously accounted for invoiced amounts on contracts by recording the full amount in accounts receivable and the portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance as deferred revenue. For example, if payment
terms are 90 percent on shipment and 10 percent on acceptance, we invoiced and recognized the full amount in accounts receivable and recognized 10 percent of the invoiced amount as deferred revenue. The interpretive guidance in Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (SAB 104) indicates that when the timing of payment of a portion of the sales price is coincident with the performance of the remaining activity, the remaining activity is considered substantive
rather than inconsequential or perfunctory. Interpretative guidance of SAB 104 states that deferred revenue should not be recognized for the portion of the contract price that is withheld. In the restated balance sheets as at
September 30, 2003 and later, the portion of the contract price withheld is offset against accounts receivable, thereby reducing total liabilities and total assets by the same amount.



Second, we previously deferred recognition of costs in the same proportion as
we deferred recognition of revenues on contracts with a portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance. The restated statements of operations for periods ending on or after September 30, 2003 and balance sheets as at September
30, 2003 and later will recognize the majority of the products costs (i.e. excluding installation costs) on shipment. This affected the timing of recognition of these costs, which in some cases moved costs from one quarter to another and
therefore changed Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and net loss in that quarter and net assets at the quarter end.



Third, in our statement of operations, we historically allocated substantially all of our facilities costs to Selling, General and Administrative Cost
(SG&A). We have determined that a portion of those costs should be re-allocated to COGS and Research and Development (R&D). As a result, in a given period, SG&A was reduced and COGS and R&D together were increased by the same amount.
The reallocation of overhead relates to one facility with services shared by administrative, manufacturing and research and development functions. All of our restated statements of operations reflect this reclassification.



As a result of the foregoing, in the consolidated statement of operations our
net loss was overstated by $104,000 in fiscal 2004, and understated by $402,000 in fiscal 2003, and in the consolidated balance sheets the total assets were overstated by $2.5 million in fiscal 2004 and by $5.8 million in fiscal 2003 and total
liabilities overstated by $2.2 million in fiscal 2004 and by $5.3 million in fiscal 2003.

The impact of these adjustments at December 31, 2004 is to decrease accumulated other comprehensive
income by $15,000 and to increase accumulated deficit by $298,000. The impact of these adjustments at December 31, 2003 is to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by $10,000 and to increase accumulated deficit by $402,000. As SAB 104 was
not effective for periods prior to September 30, 2003, there is no impact on the balance sheets for prior periods.



Recent Developments



On March 14, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Aviza Technology, Inc., a privately held global supplier of thermal process and
atomic layer deposition systems. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Athletics, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation, will merge with and into us, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Athletics will merge
with and into Aviza. Upon consummation of the mergers, we and Aviza will each continue as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Athletics.



New Athletics intends to account for the transaction as a purchase of Trikon by Aviza for financial reporting and accounting purposes, in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals. Product revenues for the three months and year ended December 31, 2004 include $900,000 attributable to sales of products to Aviza.



The consummation of the merger is subject to the approval of our stockholders
and other customary closing conditions. The requisite approval of the stockholders of Aviza has already been obtained. The merger is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2005.



Critical Accounting Policies



General



Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.



A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and
requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates generally require us to make assumptions about
matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and if different estimates or judgments were used, the use of these estimates or judgments would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.



The estimates and judgments we make that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are based on our historical experience and on various other factors, which we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances under which they are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We consider our accounting policies related to revenue recognition, foreign currency translation, the valuation of inventories including demonstration inventory and accounting for the costs of installation and
warranty obligations to be critical accounting policies.



Revenue Recognition



We derive our revenues
from three sourcesequipment sales, spare parts sales and the provision of services. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we recognize revenue when all the following
criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectivity is reasonably



14

##### Index to Financial Statements

assured. For transactions that consist of multiple deliverables we allocate revenue to each of the deliverables based upon relative fair values and apply the
revenue recognition criteria above to each element.



Generally,
we recognize revenue on shipment, as the equipment is pre-tested in the factory prior to shipment and our terms of business are FOB factory. For new customers, or new products, revenue is recognized on shipment only if the customer attends and
approves the pre-shipment testing procedures and we, and the customer, are satisfied that the performance of the equipment, once installed and operated, will meet the customer-defined specifications. Generally even with new customers we recognize
revenue on shipment because the customer attends and approves the pre-shipment testing. The amount of revenue recorded is reduced by the amount of any customer retention (typically between 10% and 20%), which is not payable by the customer until
installation is completed and final customer acceptance is achieved.



The amount of revenue related to system shipments and customer retentions not recognized at December 31, 2004 was $1.9 million compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2003.



Equipment sold as demonstration or evaluation units are recognized as revenue on transfer of title and either final
acceptance, or satisfactory completion of testing to demonstrate that the equipment meets all the customer defined specifications.



Revenue related to spare parts is recognized on shipment. Revenue related to service contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.



During fiscal 2003 we entered into a contract to develop a
piece of equipment for a customer and we determined that the revenue associated with this transaction should be accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1Accounting for the performance of Construction-Type and certain Production-Type
contracts. The developed equipment was shipped to the customer in fiscal 2003, however significant development work was required and therefore no revenue was recognized with respect to this project in fiscal 2003. This contract was completed
in fiscal 2004 and the revenue was recognized accordingly.



Foreign Currency Translation



Most of our
operations are located within the United Kingdom and most of our costs are incurred in British pounds. However our system sales are generally in US dollars and, to a lesser extent, in euros, and we report in US dollars. As a result, fluctuations in
the exchange rate between the US dollar and the British pound could have a significant effect on our reported earnings and net asset position. We have determined that the functional currency for all UK operations is the British pound and as a result
our actual expenses expressed in US dollars will fluctuate with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and result in currency gains and losses, which are charged to net income. Changes in the value of non-US net assets as a result of these
movements of foreign currency exchange rates are treated as changes to the cumulative translation adjustment on the balance sheet. We also have significant intercompany loans between the United Kingdom operating subsidiary and the parent, which were
determined as being repayable in the foreseeable future. This determination results in exchange gains and losses associated with these loans being accounted for in the statement of operations.



Inventory Valuation



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using
standard costs which approximate to actual cost. We maintain a perpetual inventory system and continuously record the quantity on hand and standard cost of each product including purchased components, sub assemblies and finished goods. We maintain
the integrity of the perpetual inventory through a cycle stock count program.



Our standard costs are re-assessed at least annually and generally reflect the most recent purchase cost and currently achievable assembly and test labor and overhead rates. We estimate our labor and overhead rates
based



15

upon average utilization rates and treat as a period cost abnormal absorption variances, which arise due to low or high production volumes. As a result of
the low levels of production, significant negative volume variances are being experienced, which has resulted in a gross margin that is below levels that could be achieved at higher revenue levels.



We also make provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory and evaluate
their adequacy on a quarterly basis. For our work in process and finished goods inventory, which generally consist of specific systems or modules, we compare the inventory on hand to current sales and market forecasts and other information that
indicates the ability to identify a purchaser for such equipment. We apply a formula approach to reserves against raw materials and spares inventory based upon 12 months historic usage, applying different criteria to components that are required for
current products, non-current products and spares.



A major
component of the estimate of inventory reserves is our forecast of future customer demand, technological and/or market obsolescence, and general semiconductor market conditions. If future customer demand or market conditions are less favorable than
our projections then additional inventory write-downs may be required, and these would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the reserves were adjusted.



Installation and Warranty



Our contracts cover on-site installation services and provide for a warranty of the machine. Our standard warranty period varies from 12 to 24 months,
depending on a number of factors including the specific equipment purchased.



We account for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to cost of sales on delivery. The warranty reserve is based upon historic product performance and is based on a rolling 12-month average of the historical cost
per machine per warranty month outstanding. We also recalculate the estimated warranty cost for all remaining systems still under warranty using the most recent historic average and the difference is included as a component of cost of sales. We do
not maintain any general reserves for warranty obligations. Actual warranty costs in the future may vary from historic costs, which could result in adjustments to our warranty reserves in future periods that are more volatile than in recent
years.



Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003



Product Revenue.



Product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 28% to $36.7
million compared to $28.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Shipments for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $33.7 million compared to $32.7 million shipped in the prior year.



Product revenues outside of the United States accounted for approximately 72%
and 61% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect that sales outside of the United States will continue to represent a significant percentage of our product sales through 2005.



Our sales by product as a percentage of total revenue are as follows:



|                   |  |                        |   |  |      |

Due to the large unit price associated with our systems, we anticipate that our product sales will
continue to be made to a small number of customers in each quarter. The quantity, geographical location and type of product may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and the individual customers to whom these products are sold can also
change from quarter to quarter. Further, our customers are demanding greater flexibility and shorter delivery times, which increase the fluctuations that may occur each quarter. Due to the unit prices associated with our products the level of sales
activity by type of product in any quarter can significantly impact the product and geographical mix, and are therefore not indicative of a trend.



License Revenues.



License revenues are associated with an exclusive license of power supply technology and a non-exclusive license of our M0RI technology to a systems
integrator in Japan for a non-competing application. License revenues increased 45% to $157,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $108,000 received during the year ended December 31 2003.



Gross Margin.



Our gross profit from period to period is affected by the treatment of
certain product sales in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, or SAB 104, which superseded the earlier related guidance in SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements, or SAB 101. For these sales, we recognize all of a products cost upon shipment, except installation, even though a portion of a products revenue may not be recognized until final payment is due, typically
upon customer acceptance.



The gross margin for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was 26.0% as compared to 17.9% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The improvement in gross margin is primarily attributable to improved efficiency within manufacturing and customer support with the combination of increased
utilization and significantly reduced headcount following cost reductions in fiscal 2003 and 2004.



Research and Development Expenses.



Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $10.1 million or 27.5% of total revenues compared with $11.1 million or 38.5%
of total revenues for the prior year. The decrease in research and development expenses for fiscal 2004 compared to the prior year reflects reduced headcount and other expenses. We believe, however, that the current levels of expenditure are
adequate and are focused upon the development of new processes to further advance our proprietary PVD, CVD and etch technologies This includes the development of novel process solutions for emerging applications and for advanced applications at
technology nodes of 90nm and below.



We have also received an
offer of a grant from the UK government to develop broad ion beam deposition technology for MRAM applications and we expect to develop this technology over the next eighteen months in collaboration with other parties. This grant will reimburse 50%
of our total project costs and expenditure to a maximum reimbursement of $3.1 million. None of these funds has been received as of December 31, 2004 and are contingent on all parties accepting the offer. Although we have been informed that one party
may not wish to continue the program, we have been informed that it will be possible to substitute such party. The expenditure and funding are expected to commence in fiscal 2005 and would be expended/received over the eighteen month period of the
project.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.



Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2004 were $16.1 million, or 43.7% of total revenues, compared to $16.4 million, or 56.8% of total revenues, in the year ended December 31, 2003.

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

The year ended December 31, 2004 includes non-recurring costs totaling $1.9 million for higher than usual
legal fees, consultancy services including, expenses related to compliance costs with respect to section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, costs of a reduction in force and other higher than normal legal and professional charges, compared to similar
non recurring costs of $0.9 million in the prior year.



Restructuring Costs



In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1997 the Company commenced a restructuring program related to the closure of its M0RI etch operations located in Chatsworth, California, which included the transfer of the M0RI technology to the Companys Omega platform and the
obsolescence and phase-out of the existing platform. An accrual was charged to the income statement in fiscal 1997 for this restructuring. During fiscal 1998 and 1999 the Company completed this reorganization and negotiated settlements with many of
its customers. The restructuring reserve was reduced accordingly. The Company has carried a residual accrual in the amount of $1.2 million since December 31, 1999 for other potential claims arising out of this restructuring. Following a review of
the situation in the third quarter of 2004, the Company has concluded that the probability of further claims is remote and accordingly the reserve has been reversed to the income statement during the year ended December 31, 2004.



Result from Operations.



We incurred a loss from operations of $15.5 million in the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to a loss of $25.9 million in the prior year. The combination of increased revenue, better gross margins and reduced operating expenses all contributed to the reduction in the loss from operations. The pension settlement
charge of $3.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 and the release of the reserve for restructuring in fiscal 2004 of $1.2 million also had an effect on the comparison of the results of operations for fiscal 2004 when compared to fiscal
2003.



Other Income.



We earned $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2003 in connection
with the sale of property we no longer required for our operations. No similar income was received in fiscal 2004.



Interest Income and Expense, Net.



Net interest income was $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $27,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net interest income
increased in the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the prior year, due to higher interest payable in fiscal 2003 from interest payable on taxes incurred in fiscal 2003, which did not reoccur in fiscal 2004. Excluding this item, net interest
income declined due to lower cash balances.



Income Taxes.



For the year ended December 31, 2004 we recorded a tax
charge of $0.2 million compared to a tax charge of $0.2 million for year ended December 31, 2003 resulting in an effective income tax rate of (1.6)% and (1.0)%, respectively. The current year tax charge primarily relates to US state franchise taxes
and to income taxes in our non United Kingdom subsidiaries. The low effective tax rate arises primarily as a result of the generation of net operating losses for which we have not recognized any deferred tax assets, which can only be utilized
against future profits. See Note 6 of the notes to the financial statements for a detailed reconciliation of the tax rate for 2004 and 2003.



As of December 31, 2004, we had US federal losses of $25.6 million, various state operating losses and United Kingdom net operating losses of
approximately $64.4 million, which can be offset against future income. Our ability to use our US and United Kingdom net operating losses and credit carry forwards will depend upon



18

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

the ability to generate future income within the US and United Kingdom to utilize these losses. Further, a portion of our US net operating losses are subject
to annual limitations arising from a change of control as defined by Section 382 of the internal revenue code, as revised.



Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002



Product Sales.



Product sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased 12% to $28.7 million compared to $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Shipments for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $32.7 million compared to $28.9 million shipped in the prior year. The level of sales and shipments in the year reflected the effects of the global slowdown in the semiconductor industry.



Our sales by product as a percentage of revenue are as
follows:

Sales outside of the
United States accounted for approximately 61% and 67% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



License Revenues.



License revenues are associated with an exclusive license of power supply technology and a non-exclusive license of our M0RI technology to a systems
integrator in Japan for a non-competing application. License revenues increased 116% to $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $50,000 received during the year ended December 31 2002.



Gross Margin on Product Sales.



The gross margin on product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003
was 17.9% as compared to 18.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2003 included $290,000 relating to the costs of a reduction in workforce compared to $345,000 in the year ended December 31,
2002. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2003 also included a non-cash charge of $2.1 million with respect to the write-down of inventory associated with the current downturn in the semiconductor business compared to $2.3 million in
the prior year.



Research and Development Expenses.



Research and development expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2003 were $11.1 million or 38.5% of total revenues compared with $12.2 million or 37.1% of total revenues for the prior year. The major focus of our research and development efforts continued to be the development of new processes in
further advancing our proprietary PVD, CVD and etch technologies as well as adding enhancements to our existing products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.



Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
2003 were $16.4 million, or 56.8% of total revenues, compared to $14.9 million, or 45.4% of total revenues, in the year ended December 31, 2002. As the majority of our costs are incurred in British pounds, in local currency terms our expenses
declined in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002. In addition, in fiscal 2003 we incurred non-recurring costs associated with employer social security taxes relating to the vesting of 1,149,281 shares, a contested 2003 annual shareholder meeting,
accruals with respect to leasehold buildings no longer used by the Company and the succession of the Chief Executive Officer, which totaled $941,000.

We incurred a loss from operations of $25.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to a loss of $21.9 million in the prior year. Lower
revenue was the major component of the increase in the loss from operations. The pension settlement charge of $3.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $818,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002 had a significant effect upon the
result of operations for fiscal 2003. See note 11, Pensions and other Post Retirement Benefits in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.



Other Income.



We earned $474,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 in connection with the sale of property we no longer required for our operations.



Interest Income and Expense, Net.



Net interest income was $27,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003
compared with $112,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Net interest income was reduced in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the prior year, in part due to lower cash balances, but also due to interest payable on taxes outstanding
from the prior year, which was settled during the year.



Income Taxes.



For the year ended December 31,
2003 we recorded a tax charge of $0.2 million compared to a tax credit of $2.2 million for year ended December 31, 2002 resulting in an effective income tax rate of (1.0%) and 9.9%, respectively. The tax charge primarily relates to US state
franchise taxes and to income taxes related to operations in our German subsidiary



We generated a significant portion of our consolidated pre-tax losses for the year ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 within the United Kingdom, which has a lower statutory rate of 30% compared to the US
federal rate of 35%. In addition to the lower statutory rate, the generation of net operating losses results in fluctuations in the effective tax rate, as we have not recognized any deferred tax assets with respect to net operating losses, which can
only be utilized against future profits. We incurred United Kingdom income taxes in fiscal 2001 and we were able to carry back some of the tax losses incurred in the United Kingdom during fiscal 2002 against these taxes and hence recognize a
deferred tax benefit. See Note 6 to the notes to the financial statements for a detailed reconciliation of the tax rate for 2003 and 2002.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



At December 31, 2004, we had $21.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2003.



At December 31, 2003, we had a term loan from a British bank with a balance
outstanding of 6.2 million British pounds (approximately $11.2 million at the December 31, 2003 exchange rate). The term loan was repaid in full during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

In July 2003 we entered into a two-year revolving credit facility for 5.0 million British pounds
(approximately $9.6 million at the December 31, 2004 exchange rate) (2003 facility). Interest on the 2003 facility will be incurred at LIBOR plus 1.75% for borrowings in British pounds and at the banks short-term offered rate plus
1% for loans in any other currency. At December 31, 2004 we had drawn down the whole of this facility.



The 2003 facility, as subsequently amended, includes financial covenants that require that we maintain a consolidated net worth of not less than $40
million, and that our interest expense on the loan net of any interest receivable from the same British bank does not exceed 70,000 British pounds in any one fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2004 our consolidated net worth was $40.5 million. The
primary factors that affect our consolidated net worth are foreign currency translation and net losses. To the extent the US dollar strengthens against the British pound or we incur net losses, our consolidated net worth will continue to decline. If
our consolidated net worth falls below $40 million then we would be in breach of this covenant and our bank could exercise its right to cause us to repay amounts outstanding under the 2003 facility and not permit such amounts to be redrawn. We may
breach this covenant at the end of the first quarter of 2005, and in any event unless the 2003 facility is renewed, it will expire pursuant to its terms at the end of the second quarter of 2005 and all amounts outstanding at that time will be
required to be repaid.



Our cash and cash equivalent balances,
net of amounts borrowed under the 2003 facility was $11.6 million at December 31, 2004 and represents our primary source of liquidity. Our cash used in operating activity has been $7.2 million, $10.8 million and $6.9 million in the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a result, if we do not continue to increase revenue, reduce operating costs and return to profitability we may use all, or a substantial part of our cash balance to fund our current obligations and
our operations.



The amount of funding required by operations
in fiscal 2005 will depend on numerous factors including, market conditions within the semi conductor industry, general economic conditions, our ability to increase our revenue, or reduce our expenditures or our ability to reduce our working capital
requirements in areas such as inventory and accounts receivable. However, management believes, based upon our current forecast for revenues, operating expenses, cashflows and other financial metrics that the resources available at December 31, 2004
are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. If anticipated revenues from fiscal 2005 do not meet our expectations we would continue to seek to scale back our operations to lower the use of cash. We also anticipate that we
would seek to raise additional debt or equity funding during the next twelve months and to seek an extension or replacement to the current line of credit.



At December 31, 2004, our cash obligations and commitments relating to our debt obligations and lease payments were as follows ($000):



|                            |  |       |  |                 |  |             |  |             |  |

With the exception of
the above operating leases we have no off balance sheet financing activities.

RISK FACTORS



We have experienced losses over the last few years and we may not be able to achieve profitability and may need to raise additional
capital to support our operations.



We have experienced
losses of $13.7 million, $25.0 million and $19.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We will need to increase sales and/or reduce costs to return to profitability. However we may never generate sufficient
revenues to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.



As of December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.2 million and short-term debt of
approximately $9.9 million. The short-term debt includes 5 million British pounds ($9.6 million at the December 31, 2004 exchange rate) outstanding under our credit facility that we may be required to repay if we breach the consolidated net worth
covenant in the facility. A breach of this covenant may occur at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and in any event, this facility expires on June 30, 2005. There can be no assurance that a replacement facility can be obtained. and we may
need to raise additional capital in the next twelve months from the sale of equity. In addition, regardless of whether such financing is absolutely necessary, we may seek additional debt or equity financing in the next twelve months in order to
strengthen our cash position. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing stockholders would
be reduced and they may experience significant dilution. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges that differ from, or are senior to, those of existing holders of our common stock, including warrants in addition to the securities
purchased and protection against future dilutive transactions. If we are unable to achieve positive cash flows or raise additional capital, we may be forced to implement further expense reduction measures, including, but not limited to, the sale of
assets, the consolidation of operations, workforce reductions, and/or the delay, cancellation or reduction of certain product development, marketing or other operational programs.



We may not achieve profitability in fiscal 2005 and may not achieve the sales necessary to avoid further expense reduction
measures in the future. Such expense reduction measures could materially adversely affect our results of operations and prospects and may not be successful in preserving sufficient cash to continue operations.



The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and unpredictable.



Our business depends upon the capital expenditures of semiconductor
manufacturers, which in turn depend on the current anticipated market demand for integrated circuits. The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical due to sudden changes in demand for semiconductors and manufacturing capacity using the
latest technology. These changes in demand have affected the timing and amounts of customers capital equipment purchases and investments in technology, and continue to affect our orders, net sales, gross margin and results of operations.



During periods of decreasing demand for integrated circuit
manufacturing equipment, we must be able to appropriately align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions and effectively motivate and retain key employees. Conversely, during periods of increasing demand, we must have sufficient
manufacturing capacity and inventory to meet customer demand, and must be able to attract, retain and motivate a sufficient number of qualified individuals. If we are not able to timely adjust our cost structure with business conditions and/or to
effectively manage our resources and production capacity during changes in demand, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.



We are exposed to risks associated with a highly concentrated customer base.



Our orders and revenue are from a relatively small number of manufacturers
of integrated circuits and we expect this to continue. In fiscal 2004 two customers exceeded 10% of revenue. This may lead customers to demand from us less favorable pricing and other terms. In addition, sales to any single customer may vary



22



---

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

significantly from quarter to quarter. If current customers delay, cancel or do not place orders we may not be able to replace these orders with new orders.
As our products are configured to customer specifications, changing, rescheduling or canceling orders may result in significant and often non-recoverable costs. The resulting fluctuations in the amount of and terms of orders could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We will not be able to compete effectively if we fail to address the technology needs of our customers.



We operate in a highly competitive environment, and our future success is heavily dependent on effective development, commercialization and customer
acceptance of new products compared to our competitors. In addition, our success is dependent upon our ability to timely and cost-effectively: (1) develop and market new products and technologies; (2) improve existing products and technologies; (3)
expand into or develop equipment solutions for new markets for integrated circuit products; (4) achieve market acceptance and accurately forecast demand for our products and technologies; (5) achieve cost efficiencies across our product offerings;
(6) qualify new or improved products for volume manufacturing with our customers; and (7) lower our customers cost of ownership. The development, introduction and support of new or improved products and technologies, including those which
enable smaller feature sizes, new materials and the utilization of 300 mm wafers becomes increasingly expensive and unpredictable. For example, the adoption of our ORION for ultra low k deposition has been delayed as a result of integration issues
at the potential customers. Until such integration issues are resolved our ability to obtain commercial sales of our ORION technology is limited and there can be no assurance that these integration issues will be resolved. We also need to continue
to develop technology for such customer needs as power semiconductors, SiP/Mems, BAW, Flowfill, and other applications and there can be no assurance that such developments will be consistent with the needs of these customers.



We may not be able to accurately forecast or respond to the technological
trends in the semiconductor industry or respond to specific product announcements by our competitors. Our competitors may be developing technologies and products that are more effective or that achieve more widespread acceptance. In addition, we may
incur substantial costs to ensure the functionality and reliability of our current and future products. If our new developed products are unreliable or do not meet our customers expectations, then reduced orders, higher manufacturing costs,
delays in collecting accounts receivable or additional service and warranty expense could result. Our customers may purchase equipment for their new products but experience delays and technical and manufacturing difficulties in their introductions
or transition to volume production using our systems causing significant delays between the sale of an initial tool into our customers development facility and limit the potential for follow on sales for manufacturing. Any of these events could
negatively affect our ability to generate the return we expect to achieve on our investments in these new products.



Integrated circuit manufacturers have been slow to adopt the use of new materials and if we fail to continue to develop these solutions to achieve all the
specifications required by device manufacturers and/or the device manufacturers fail to successfully integrate these technologies with their other processes, or our competitors develop competing solutions, then our ability to grow our revenues from
these products would be negatively affected.



Our operating results could be
negatively affected by currency fluctuations.



We are
based in the United Kingdom, and most of our operating expenses are incurred in British pounds. Our revenues, however, are generally denominated in US dollars, and to a lesser extent in euros, and we report our financial results in US dollars.
Accordingly, if the British pound increases in value against the US dollar, our expenses as a percentage of revenues will increase and gross margins and net income will be negatively affected.



The semiconductor industry is global and is expanding within the Asian region. If we are
unable to penetrate this market our ability to grow our revenues will be restricted.



The percentage of worldwide semiconductor production that is based in the Asian region is growing, particularly within China. Our business has traditionally been strongest with the European semiconductor



23

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

manufacturers and we have only a small installed base and limited brand recognition in Asia. It will be necessary for us to penetrate new customers in this
region to grow our business. While we have appointed sales representatives in this region and we were able to increase the percentage of sales in the Asian region in fiscal 2004 to 10% of total revenues, there is no assurance that we will be able to
continue to penetrate these geographic markets, which are subject to growth rates that are higher than worldwide growth rates. Failure to penetrate these markets may harm our competitive position and adversely affect our future business prospects.



Our competitors have greater financial resources and greater name
recognition than we do and therefore may compete more successfully.



We face competition or potential competition from many companies with greater resources than ours. If we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may decline and our business could be harmed.



Virtually all of our primary competitors are substantially larger companies
and some of them have broader product lines than ours. They have well-established reputations in the markets in which we compete, greater experience with high volume manufacturing, broader name recognition, substantially larger customer bases, and
substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. We also face potential competition from new entrants, including established manufacturers in other segments of the semiconductor capital equipment market
who may decide to diversify and develop and market products that compete with our current offerings.



Semiconductor manufacturers are loyal to their current semiconductor equipment supplier, which may make it difficult for us to obtain new customers.



Because semiconductor manufacturers must make a substantial investment to
install and integrate capital equipment into a semiconductor fabrication facility, these manufacturers will tend to choose semiconductor equipment manufacturers based on established relationships, product compatibility and proven system performance.



Once a semiconductor manufacturer selects a particular
vendors capital equipment, the manufacturer generally relies for a significant period of time upon the equipment from this vendor of choice for the specific production line application. To do otherwise creates risk for the manufacturer because
the manufacture of a semiconductor requires many process steps and a fabrication facility will contain many different types of machines that must work cohesively to produce products that meet the customers specifications. If any piece of
equipment fails to perform as expected, the customer could incur significant costs related to defective products, production line downtime, or low production yields.



Since most new fabrication facilities are similar to existing ones, semiconductor manufacturers tend to continue using
equipment that has a proven track record. Based on our experience with major customers such as Infineon, we have observed that once a particular piece of equipment is selected from a vendor, the customer is likely to continue purchasing that same
piece of equipment from the vendor for similar applications in the future. Our customer list, though limited, has increased in fiscal 2004. Yet our broadening market share remains at risk due to choices made by customers that continue to be
influenced by pre-existing installed bases by competing vendors. Consequently, our penetration of new customers and our ability to get additional orders may be limited.



A semiconductor manufacturer frequently will attempt to consolidate its other capital equipment requirements with the same
vendor. Accordingly, we may face narrow windows of opportunity to be selected as the vendor of choice by potential new customers. It may be difficult for us to sell to a particular customer for a significant period of time once that
customer selects a competitors product, and we may not be successful in obtaining broader acceptance of our systems and technology. If we are not able to achieve broader market



24

##### Index to Financial Statements

acceptance of our systems and technology, we may be unable to grow our business and our operating results and financial condition will be harmed.



Our products generally have long sales cycles and implementation periods, which
increase our costs of obtaining orders and reduce the predictability of our earnings.



Our products are technologically complex. Prospective customers generally must commit significant resources to test and evaluate our products and to install and integrate them into larger systems. In addition,
customers often require a significant number of product presentations and demonstrations, in some instances evaluating equipment on site, before reaching a sufficient level of confidence in the products performance and compatibility with their
requirements to place an order. As a result, our sales process is often subject to delays associated with lengthy approval processes that typically accompany the design and testing of new products. The sales cycles of our products often last for
many months or even years. Longer sales cycles require us to invest significant resources in attempting to make sales and delay the generation of revenue. In addition, we may incur significant costs in supporting evaluation equipment at our
customers facilities.



Long sales cycles also subject us
to other risks, including customers budgetary constraints, internal acceptance reviews and cancellations. In addition, orders expected in one quarter could shift to another because of the timing of customers purchase decisions. The time
required for our customers to incorporate our products into their manufacturing processes can vary significantly with the needs of our customers and generally exceeds several months, which further complicates our planning processes and reduces the
predictability of our operating results.



Customers are also
demanding shorter delivery times from the time of placing a purchase order. We therefore are required to negotiate with our suppliers shorter lead times for the materials required and we may need to purchase inventory and to commence building for a
customer prior to receipt of a confirmed purchase order. It is not possible to fully mitigate this risk within the supply chain. In the event a purchase order is not received from a customer where we had commenced manufacturing, then higher
inventory levels would be incurred and potential inventory write-offs would also be incurred if an alternative customer is not identified to purchase that system.



We depend upon sole suppliers for certain key components.



We depend on a number of sole suppliers for key components used in the manufacture of our products. If we are unable to
obtain timely delivery of sufficient quantities of these components, we would be unable to manufacture our products to meet customer demand, unless we are able to locate replacement components. Most significantly, our cluster tools are designed
around an automation module supplied by Brooks Automation. Due to the high cost of these modules we keep very few in inventory. If Brooks Automation fails to deliver the component on a timely basis, delivery of our cluster tools will be delayed and
sales may be lost. If Brooks Automation is unable to deliver any such modules for a prolonged period of time, we will have to redesign our cluster tools so that we may utilize other wafer transport systems. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to do so, or that customers will adopt the redesigned systems.



Our final assembly and testing is concentrated in one facility.



Our final assembly and testing activity is concentrated in our facility in Newport, United Kingdom. We have no alternative facilities to allow for continued production if we are required to cease production in our
facility, as a result of a fire, natural disaster or otherwise. In such event, we will be unable to produce any products until the facility is replaced. Any such interruption in our manufacturing schedule could cause us to lose sales and customers,
which could significantly harm our business.



If we are unable to hire and
retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel, our ability to manage growth will be negatively affected.



Our business and future operating results depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, technical, sales and support
personnel for our operations on a worldwide basis. Competition for



25



---

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

qualified personnel is intense, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our operations could be
negatively affected if we lose key executives or employees or are unable to attract and retain skilled executives and employees as needed.



Our ability to compete could be jeopardized if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from challenges by third parties.



Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protecting our
proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, non-disclosure and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights.



There can be no assurance that patents will be issued on our pending patent
applications or that competitors will not be able to ascertain legitimately proprietary information embedded in our products that is not covered by patent or copyright. In such case, we may be precluded from preventing the competitor from making use
of such information.



In addition, should we wish to assert our
patent rights against a particular competitors product, there can be no assurance that any claim in any of our patents will be sufficiently broad nor, if sufficiently broad, any assurance that our patent will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that we will have sufficient resources to prosecute our rights. Failure to protect our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our business.



Claims or litigation regarding intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business or require us to incur significant costs.



In recent years, there has been significant litigation in
the semiconductor equipment industry involving patents and other intellectual property rights. Infringement claims may be asserted against us in the future and, if such claims are made, we may not be able to defend against such claims successfully
or, if necessary, obtain licenses on reasonable terms. Any claim that our products infringe proprietary rights of others would force us to defend ourselves and possibly our customers against the alleged infringement. These claims and any resulting
lawsuit, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their outcome, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert
managements time and attention. Any potential intellectual property litigation could force us to do one or more of the following:



| |  |  | lose or forfeit our proprietary rights;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | stop manufacturing or selling our products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all
and may involve significant royalty payments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay damages, including treble damages and attorneys fees in some circumstances; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | redesign those products that use the challenged intellectual property.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business could be severely harmed.



Our operations are subject to health and safety and environmental laws that may expose us
to liabilities for noncompliance.



We are subject to a
variety of governmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, handling, manufacture and disposal of all materials present at, or our output from, our facilities, including the toxic or other



26



---

##### Table of Contents

##### Index to Financial Statements

hazardous chemical by-products of our manufacturing processes. Environmental claims against us, or our failure to comply with any present or future
regulations, could result in significant costs to remediate, the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us; the suspension of production of our products; or the cessation of our operations.



New regulations could require us to purchase costly equipment or to incur
other significant expenses. Our failure to control the use or adequately restrict the discharge of hazardous substances could subject us to future liabilities, which could negatively affect our operating results and financial condition.



Any acquisitions we may make could disrupt our business and severely harm our financial
condition.



We may consider it necessary to invest in
complementary products, companies or technologies, such investments involve numerous risks, including but not limited to: (1) diversion of managements attention from other operational matters; (2) inability to complete acquisitions as
anticipated or at all; (3) inability to realize synergies expected to result from an acquisition; (4) failure to commercialize purchased technologies; (5) ineffectiveness of an acquired companys internal controls; (6) impairment of acquired
intangible assets as a result of technological advancements or worse-than-expected performance of the acquired company or its product offerings; (7) unknown and/or undisclosed commitments or liabilities; (8) failure to integrate and retain key
employees; and (9) ineffective integration of operations. Mergers and acquisitions are inherently subject to significant risks, and the ability to effectively manage these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.



Changes in accounting rules



We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and various bodies formed to interpret and create accounting policies. A change in
these policies can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions. In particular, changes to FASB guidelines relating to accounting for stock-based compensation will likely
increase our compensation expense, could make our net result less predictable in any given reporting period and could change the way we compensate our employees or cause other changes in the way we conduct out business.



You may have difficulty protecting your rights as a stockholder and in enforcing civil
liabilities because many of our executive officers and the majority of the members of our board of directors and the majority of our assets are located outside the United States.



Our principal assets and manufacturing plants are located in the United
Kingdom. In addition, most of the members of our board of directors and our executive officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for stockholders to serve process within the United States
upon members of our board of directors and our executive officers, or to enforce against us or members of our board of directors or our executive officers judgments of the U.S. courts, to enforce outside the United States judgments obtained against
members of our board of directors or our executive officers in U.S. courts, or to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against members of our board of directors or our executive officers in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, in
any action, including actions that derive from the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. In addition, it may be difficult for our stockholders to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions located outside the
United States, liabilities that derive from U.S. securities laws.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



In connection with the preparation of our Originally Filed 10-K, as of
December 31, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Exchange Act. In performing this evaluation, management reviewed the selection, application and monitoring of our historical accounting policies. Based on information and advice available at the time, we initially determined that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2004 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.



In May 2005, we re-evaluated controls over the selection, application and monitoring of our accounting policies with respect to (i) the classification of accounts receivable and deferred revenues on contracts with a
portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance, (ii) the timing of recognition of costs on those contracts and (iii) the allocation of facilities cost, and deemed they were not effective. Accordingly, we decided to restate
certain of our previously issued financial statements to reflect the corrections (see notes 13 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements).



Auditing Standard Number 2 issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, indicates that a restatement of previously issued financial
statements is a strong indicator that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting exists. Based on that evaluation, Trikons management has revisited its initial evaluation and has now concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004.



Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting



Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements.



On March 15, 2005, management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 in connection with preparation of the Originally Filed 10-K and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective, a conclusion that
Ernst & Young LLP opined was, as of December 31, 2004 fairly stated in all material respects based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework. Ernst & Young LLP also opined on March 15, 2005 that we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the COSO criteria. However, as
noted above, on May 6, 2005, we determined to restate certain of our previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of misstatements arising from certain of our historical accounting policies. Details of the restatements are
incorporated by reference to notes 13 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements. As a result of our review of our accounting policies, management reassessed our internal control over financial reporting using the COSO criteria.

Management has concluded that controls over the selection, application and monitoring of accounting
policies with respect to (i) the classification of accounts receivable and deferred revenues on contracts with a portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance, (ii) the timing of recognition of costs on those contracts and
(iii) the allocation of facilities cost were ineffective and represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2 identifies a number of circumstances (including the restatement of previously issued
financial statements to reflect the correction of a misstatement) that, because of their likely significant negative effect on internal control over financial reporting, are to be regarded as strong indicators that a material weakness exists.



Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst &
Young LLP, has audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and has issued a revised attestation report on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as stated in
their report which appears below.



Changes in Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting



There were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However,
subsequent to year end we determined that certain of our accounting policies were not in line with current interpretations of generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and that, as such, a restatement was necessary. During the process of
restating our financial statements, we conducted a review of our controls over the application and monitoring of appropriate accounting policies to ensure that they conform to GAAP. In order to remediate our internal controls over financial
reporting, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2004, we sought additional advice and implemented additional review procedures over the selection, application and monitoring of appropriate accounting policies to ensure overall compliance with
GAAP. In order to reinforce our existing control procedures and to ensure that our policies continue to conform to GAAP and SEC pronouncements, among other things, we have subscribed to certain relevant informational databases designed expressly for
the purpose of monitoring changes in GAAP and reinforced our existing procedures to discuss these changes with our audit committee, independent registered public accounting firm and other advisors as deemed necessary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To: The Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Trikon Technologies Inc.



We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting (as revised), that Trikon Technologies Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of the material weakness described in managements assessment
and described below, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Trikon Technologies Inc.s management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



In our report dated March 15, 2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion on
managements assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As described in the following paragraph, the
Company subsequently identified misstatements in its annual and quarterly financial statements. Such matters were considered to be the result of a material weakness as further discussed in the following paragraph. Accordingly, management has revised
its assessment about the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and our present opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as expressed
herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.



A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The following material weakness has been identified and included in managements revised assessment. The Companys internal control pertaining to the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies, in particular the
accounting for (i) the classification of accounts receivable and deferred

revenues on contracts with a portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance, (ii) the timing of recognition of costs on those
contracts and (iii) the allocation of facilities costs, was ineffective. In the Companys Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004,
the Company deferred revenue and costs relating to the portion of its contracts that is withheld until final acceptance, and allocated substantially all its facilities costs to selling, general and administrative cost. This resulted in the
misstatement of gross margin and net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2004 and a
misclassification within current assets and current liabilities at March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004. As a result of this material weakness in control management concluded the Companys previously issued
financial statements should be restated. The restatement is discussed in detail in notes 13 and 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit
tests applied in our audit of the December 31, 2004 financial statements (as restated), and this report does not affect our report dated May 27, 2005 on those financial statements.



In our opinion, managements revised assessment that Trikon Technologies, Inc. did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the
objectives of the control criteria, Trikon Technologies, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Trikon Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004
(as restated) and our report dated May 27, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To: The Stockholders and the Board of Directors Trikon Technologies, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trikon Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trikon Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.



As discussed in note 13, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Trikon Technologies
Incs internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated May 27, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

|1. | COMPANY INFORMATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Background



Trikon Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company) operate in one segment, designing, manufacturing and servicing of
front-end wafer processing semiconductor-manufacturing equipment. These products are used for chemical and physical vapor deposition and for etch applications and are sold to semiconductor manufacturers worldwide.



The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
its subsidiaries all of which are wholly owned.



The Company
incurred a net loss of $13.7 million, $25.0 million and $19.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively and may continue to incur additional losses through fiscal 2005. In addition, at December 31, 2004 the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $223.8 million. The Companys financial statements are prepared on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2004 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million net of its borrowing under lines of credit that expire in June 2005 and working capital of $26.9 million. The amount of funding
required by the business in fiscal 2005 will depend on numerous factors including market conditions, the Companys ability to grow revenue or reduce costs and the Companys ability to manage the working capital, in particular accounts
receivable and inventory levels. However, management believes, based upon their current forecast for revenues, operating expenses, cash flows and other financial metrics that the resources available at December 31, 2004 are sufficient to fund
operations for at least the next twelve months. If anticipated revenues from fiscal 2005 do not meet managements expectations the Company would continue to seek to scale back its operations to lower the use of cash. The Company would also
anticipate that it would seek to raise additional debt or equity funding during the next twelve months and to seek an extension or replacement to the current line of credit.



The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification
of assets or classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.



Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.



Revenue Recognition



The Company derives its revenues from three sourcesequipment sales,
spare parts sales and the provision of services and changed its revenue recognition policy in fiscal 2000 to adopt Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)101 issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. SAB 104 has superceded
the earlier guidance given in SAB 101, and in accordance with SAB 104, the Company recognizes revenue when all the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the sales price
is fixed or determinable and collectivity is reasonably assured. For transactions that consist of multiple deliverables the Company allocates revenue to each of the deliverables based upon relative fair values and applies the revenue recognition
criteria above to each element.



Revenues related to equipment
sales are generally recognized upon shipment and transfer of title when the equipment has been pre-tested in the factory under conditions similar to which the customer intends to operate the equipment and meets all of the customers defined
specifications. For new customers, or new products, revenue is recognized only on final acceptance unless the customer attends and approves the pre-testing procedures and the customer and the Company are satisfied that the performance of the
equipment, once installed and operated, will

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



continue to meet the customer-defined specifications. Equipment sold as demonstration or evaluation units are recognized as revenue on transfer of title and
either final acceptance, or satisfactory completion of testing to demonstrate that the equipment meets all the customer defined specifications. Equipment sales generally include the provision of installation and commissioning services, which are not
essential to the functionality of the equipment but have contractual payment terms linked to the final acceptance. The Company reduces the amount of revenue recorded by the portion of revenue contractually linked to final acceptance, or the fair
value of the installation services, if greater, until after acceptance of the machine. Revenue related to spare parts is recognized on shipment and revenue related to service contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.



During fiscal 2003 we entered into a contract to develop a
piece of equipment for a customer and we determined that the revenue associated with this transaction should be accounted for in accordance with SOP 81-1Accounting for the performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-type
Contracts. The developed equipment was shipped to the customer in fiscal 2003, however significant development work was required during fiscal 2004 and no revenue was recognized with respect to this project in fiscal 2003. The full value of
the contract was deferred and the full value of the contract was recognized in fiscal 2004 following establishment of criteria to estimate the percentage of completion. The contract was completed in fiscal 2004.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
net realizable value and consist of the following:

Cash Equivalents



Cash equivalents represent short-term investments that
are highly liquid, are of limited credit risk and have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.



Property, plant and equipment



Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or fair market value for assets held at or prior to November 1996. Depreciation and amortization is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five years) or the lease term.

under capital leases included in property and equipment at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $1,246,000 and $2,427,000, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $841,000 and $1,303,000, respectively. Amortization expense under these leases is
included in depreciation expense.



During the year ended
December 31, 2003 the Company disposed of an empty facility that had previously been its corporate and operational headquarters. The sales proceeds, net of expenses, amounted to $1,682,000. As at the date of sale the net book value of the building
was $1,208,000 resulting in a profit on disposal of $474,000, which is recorded as other income on the face of the consolidated statement of operations.



The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired as
defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.



Demonstration Systems



Demonstration or evaluation systems are completed systems located at certain strategic customer sites or at the Companys facilities. The Company
provides these demonstration systems at no charge for a specified evaluation period. The customer pays all operating costs incurred during the evaluation period. At the conclusion of the agreed upon evaluation period, provided that the equipment
performs to required specifications, management expects that the customer, while not obligated to do so, will purchase the system. Demonstration systems are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value and are depreciated on a
straight-line method over four years, if the product is not sold after one year. Demonstration systems, net of depreciation, amounted to $0.6 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



Accounting for Income Taxes



The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.



Stock-based Compensation



As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for

Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plan. The Company is generally not required under
APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations to recognize compensation expense in connection with its employee stock option plans, since stock options are granted at fair market value.



The Company has estimated the fair value of the options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively: Risk-free interest rates of 2.8%, 2.66% and 2.46%; a zero dividend yield in all three years; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Companys
Common Stock of 79.6%, 76.3% and 91.5% and an expected life of the options of 3.7 years, 4.0 years and 3.8 years. These assumptions resulted in weighted-average fair values of $4.27, $4.36, and $6.35, per share for stock options granted in 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively.



The Black-Scholes option-pricing
model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. However, the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options; therefore, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Companys options.



If compensation expense had been determined based on the grant date fair value as computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model for awards in
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, the Companys net result and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Warranty expense



Generally the Companys products are sold with a
standard warranty the period of which varies from 12 to 24 months, depending on a number of factors including the specific equipment purchased. The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to cost of sales at the time of
delivery. The warranty cost is based upon historic product performance and is based on a rolling 12-month average historic cost per machine per warranty month outstanding.



Changes in the Companys product warranty liability during the year ended December 31, 2004 were as follows (in
thousands):

technology to the Companys Omega platform and the obsolescence and phase-out of the existing platform. An accrual was charged to the income statement
in fiscal 1997 for this restructuring. During fiscal 1998 and 1999 the Company completed this reorganization and negotiated settlements with many of its customers. The restructuring reserve was reduced accordingly. The Company has carried a residual
accrual in the amount of $1.2 million since December 31, 1999 for other potential claims arising out of this restructuring. Following a review of the situation in the third quarter of 2004, the Company has concluded that the probability of further
claims is remote and accordingly the reserve has been reversed to the income statement during the year ended December 31, 2004.



2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In June 2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to
Certain Investments (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 includes new guidance for evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired.
The recognition and measurement guidance of EITF 03-1 will be effective for the Companys fourth fiscal quarter of 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-1 has not had a material effect on the companys financial condition or results of operations.



As permitted by Statement 123, the company currently accounts
for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair market value method
will have a significant impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of
share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and
earnings per share in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash
flow as required under current literature. This requirement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

The loss before income
taxes of the Companys non-US subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $15.1 million, $24.7 million and $19.1 million, respectively.



As of December 31, 2004, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $25.6 million (adjusted
for the estimated effects of a change of ownership under s382 of the internal revenue code of 1986, as revised (the Code)) and California operating loss carry forwards of $20.7 million. The net operating loss carry forwards will expire
at various dates beginning in years 2008 through 2024, if not utilized.



At December 31, 2004 the Company also had United Kingdom net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $64.4 million, which can be offset against future profits arising from the same business indefinitely.



Utilization of the net operating losses and credits that arose prior to the
change of ownership, under the code, is subject to a substantial annual limitation. This is due to limitations provided by the code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before
utilization.



Net undistributed earnings from foreign
subsidiaries at December 31, 2004, on which no U.S. tax has been provided, amounted to approximately $65.3 million. The net undistributed earnings are intended to finance local operating requirements. Accordingly, an additional US tax provision has
not been made on these earnings.

In assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize
the benefits of these deductible differences, and thus has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset.

Contingencies:



In the ordinary course of business the Company is involved with various types of claims and legal proceedings, which may
result in litigation, or other legal proceedings. The Company does not anticipate that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, cash flow or results of operations.



On March 10, 2004 Dr. Jihad Kiwan departed the Company as Director and Chief
Executive Officer. On March 29, 2004 and April 2, 2004 the Company received letters from a United Kingdom law firm and from a French law firm respectively, on behalf of Dr. Kiwan, detailing certain monetary claims for severance amounts due to Dr.
Kiwan with respect to his employment with Trikon. On April 28, 2004 Dr. Kiwan filed a lawsuit in France and on June 10, 2004 filed similar proceedings in the United Kingdom. Dr. Kiwan has subsequently withdrawn the proceedings in the United Kingdom.
The Company is in the process of vigorously defending against the French claim. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these claims will be material to the results of operations or the financial condition of Trikon.



9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK



The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and capital lease obligations. The carrying amounts at December 31, 2004 of these financial instruments approximates their fair value,



The Company from time to time enters into foreign exchange contracts of a short-term nature (typically one month or less)
that are generally matched to the estimated collection of accounts receivable. These contracts are generally for the sale of U.S. dollars into British pounds. No contracts were outstanding at December 31, 2004 or 2003. The Company has not entered
into any other derivative financial instruments and does not hold or use financial instruments for speculative purposes.



The Companys exposure to concentration of credit risk arises primarily from its accounts receivables. Accounts receivable consist primarily of
amounts due from original equipment manufacturers, end use customers, and distributors within the Companys industry. At December 31, 2004 four customers represented 19%, 19%, 14% and 11% of total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2003 three
customers represented 32%, 16%, and 12% of the total accounts receivable. The Company performs credit evaluations and analysis of amounts due from its customers; however, the Company does not require collateral. Credit losses have been within
managements expectations and an estimate of un-collectible accounts has been provided for in the financial statements.



10. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Preferred Stock



The Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series with
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions to be determined at the Board of Directors discretion.



Restricted Stock



In connection with the consummation of a capital reorganization in fiscal 1998, the Company issued 1,149,281 shares of restricted Common Stock to the
Companys Chairman of the Board, which was subject to certain vesting conditions. This stock vested on May 14, 2003. The restricted stock was valued at $7.6 million based upon average traded prices immediately after the grant. This amount has
been accounted for as an addition to Common Stock and as deferred compensation within the Statement of Shareholders Equity. The deferred compensation was amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period until vesting in May 2003 which
resulted in a charge against operations of $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively.



Warrants



In connection with the sale of 925,930 common shares to an institutional investor in May 2001, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 92,593
shares of common stock. The warrants are valid for four years and expire May 23, 2005. The warrants have an exercise price of $13.50. In the event that the volume weighted average market price exceeds $21.60 for any 30-day consecutive period, with a
minimum daily trading volume of 200,000 shares, the Company can force the exercise of the warrant.



In connection with the sale of 1,400,000 common shares to an institutional investor in October 2003, the Company issued to that investor warrants for the
purchase of 350,000 shares of common stock (investor warrants) with an exercise price of $6.25 per share. In addition further warrants for the purchase of 52,500 shares of common stock (placement agent warrants) were issued
to the placement agent. The warrants expire October 22, 2007. The warrants may be redeemed at the option of the Company for $0.10 at any time after the first anniversary of the closing date provided that for any 20 trading days in a 30 day trading
period the closing market price exceeds $11.25 for the investor warrants, and $11.70 for the placement agent warrants, and the average daily trading volume of the Companys common stock exceeds 150,000 shares.



Stock Options



The Company has three stock option plans, the 2004 equity incentive plan,
the 1991 stock option plan and the 1998 Directors plan.



In
September 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 equity incentive plan, which was approved by shareholders at the Annual meeting of shareholders held on September 7, 2004. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under this plan is
1,300,000. The 2004 equity incentive plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase shares of the Companys Common Stock and for the awards of restricted stock. The plan also provides for the Board to link the award to performance goals.
The plan permits awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants who provide significant services to the Company.



The plan also provides for an automatic award to Directors. Options become exercisable at times and on terms as established at the time of grant by the
Company. The Company also determines the time at which the option will expire, however the expiration may not be later than ten years after the grant date.

11. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS



General



The Company operates multiple pension arrangements for its employees in the various geographic locations in which it operates. With the exception of the
United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan that was settled during fiscal 2003, all these plans are defined contribution schemes operated in accordance with local rules



United Kingdom Defined Benefit Pension Plan



The Company operated a pension plan known as The Electrotech Retirement Benefits Scheme (the Plan),
which undertook to provide retirement benefits to participating employees based upon their final pensionable salary. The assets of the Plan are administered by the Trustees and do not belong to the Company.



In March 2001, the Company decided to curtail the Plan effective April 6,
2001. As a result, participants did not earn additional defined benefits for service after April 6, 2001. In July 2002 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with the trustees of the Plan to settle its obligations.



During 2003 benefits for all members of the Plan were either transferred to
individual insurance policies or members chose to transfer their benefits out of the Plan. At December 31, 2003 the Plan had no members. The transfer payments were treated as settlements in accordance with SFAS No. 88 as the Company had eliminated
the significant risks related to the long-term pension benefit obligation during the year. The settlement charge to earnings of $3.1 million was incurred in the year ended December 31, 2003.



The trustees are in the process of completing the final administration
elements of the windup and they are continuing to investigate a number of contingent liabilities, which will not expire until 2016. As part of the agreement to windup the plan the Company has placed 100,000 British pounds ($192,000) in an escrow
account for the benefit of the trustees in the event a claim is made on the trustees.



The net periodic benefit cost and related obligation determined in accordance with SFAS 87, 88 and 132 were calculated and a discount rate of 5.6% for fiscal 2003 and 2002. The long term rate of return on plan assets
used was 6.80% and 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.



The actuarial calculations in respect of the Plan assume a rate of increase of pensions in payment accrued after April 6, 2000 of 2.30%. Fixed pension increase rates apply for pension in respect of service before that
date.

Defined
Contribution pension arrangements



In November 1993, the
Company established a 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. The 401(k) plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their compensation. Company contributions are voluntary and at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. There were no contributions made by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002.



In the United Kingdom, the Company operates a defined contribution pension plan, which allows for employees to contribute part of their compensation to
the plan. The Company also makes contributions to this scheme on behalf of the employees and total Company contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $565,000, $569,000 and $689,000, respectively.



There are no other post-retirement benefits provided to employees.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:



On March 14, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Aviza Technology, Inc., a privately held global
supplier of thermal process and atomic layer deposition systems. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Athletics, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation, will merge with and into us, and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of New Athletics, will merge with and into Aviza. Upon consummation of the mergers, we and Aviza will each continue as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Athletics.



The consummation of the merger is subject to the approval of the Companys stockholders and other customary closing
conditions. The requisite approval of the stockholders of Aviza has already been obtained. The merger is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2005.



In addition, on March 14, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement for the joint development of control software for an
existing Aviza process module (the JDA). The total development fee payable by Aviza to the Company under the JDA is $1.2 million. The development fee includes $900,000 payable upon delivery and sale by the Company to Aviza of one
standard, unmodified Trikon transport module. The JDA acknowledges that such delivery and sale and related payment was completed in December 2004 prior to executing the JDA.



The JDA also obligates Aviza to purchase, and Trikon to sell, eight additional Trikon transport modules incorporating the
developed software, all on a cost-plus-a specified percentage basis, and all within two years after the completion of the development work (for delivery no later than two and a half years after the date of the JDA).



The JDA includes a grant of license rights to Aviza with respect to the
process-module control software to be developed under the JDA, and also with respect to certain manufacturing documentation and software source code for the existing Trikon transport module. The total license fee payable by Aviza to the Company
under the JDA is $4 million, half of which was paid upon execution of the JDA, the other half of which is payable by Aviza on or before July 31, 2005. The JDA also specifies per-unit royalties that Aviza is to pay the Company for licensed products
sold, subject to an overall cap of $2 million.



13. RESTATEMENT



The Company has restated its consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 through 2004 and the interim periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, for the years 2003 and 2004, to reflect adjustments determined to be necessary following a review of the treatment of
certain allocations of expenses between account categories and between periods.



The Company believed that its accounting treatment was permitted under generally accepted accounting principles. Following a review, the Company has restated its financial statements.



The restatement is limited to three areas:



First, in the balance sheets, the Company previously accounted for invoiced
amounts on contracts by recording the full amount in accounts receivable and the portion of the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance as deferred revenue. For example, if payment terms are 90 percent on shipment and 10 percent on
acceptance, the Company invoiced and recognized the full amount in accounts receivable and recognized 10 percent of the invoiced amount as deferred revenue. The interpretive guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin 104 (SAB 104) indicates that when the timing of payment of a portion of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



the sales price is coincident with the performance of the remaining activity, the remaining activity is considered substantive rather than inconsequential or
perfunctory. Interpretative guidance of SAB 104 states that deferred revenue should not be reported for the portion of the contract price that is withheld. In the restated balance sheets as at September 30, 2003 and later, the portion of the
contract price withheld is offset against accounts receivable, thereby reducing total liabilities and total assets by the same amount.



Second, the Company previously deferred recognition of costs in the same proportion as it deferred recognition of revenues on contracts with a portion of
the contract price that is withheld until final acceptance. The restated statements of operations for periods ending on or after September 30, 2003 and balance sheets as at September 30, 2003 and later recognize the majority of the products
costs (i.e. excluding installation costs) on shipment. This affected the timing of recognition of these costs, which in some cases moved costs from one quarter to another and therefore changed cost of goods sold (COGS) and net loss in
that quarter and net assets at the quarter end.



Third, in the
statements of operations, the Company historically allocated substantially all of its facilities costs to selling, general and administrative cost (SG&A). The Company has determined that a portion of those costs should be
re-allocated to COGS and research and development (R&D). As a result, in a given period, SG&A was reduced and COGS and R&D together were increased by the same amount. The reallocation of overhead relates to one facility with
services shared by administrative, manufacturing and research and development functions. All of the restated statements of operations reflect this reclassification.



The cumulative effect of the restatement relating to fiscal years 2000 through 2004 is an increase to the accumulated
deficit of $298,000. The restatement does not have any impact on the Companys previously reported cash flows or revenues.
